The Springboks flyhalf, Patrick Lambie, will miss Saturday’s second test against Ireland in Johannesburg due to concussion protocol.


This comes as a precaution after the player was stretchered off the field on Saturday in their 26-20 defeat during first test at Newlands.

Lambie was knocked out when he took a blow to the head after the South African-born CJ Stander collided with the flyhalf.

The Springbok coach, Allister Coetzee, has confirmed that Lambie picked up concussion but have luckily not sustained a neck injury.

Stander picked a debatable red card for the incident and will find out later today if he will face a sanction from the sport.

Saturday’s second test at Emirates Airlines Park in Johannesburg kicks off at 17:00.
